Waterstone's - High Street, Birmingham, UK

Architect	Bennet & Eprile
Date Built	1936 - 1938
Location	High Street
Description
Built originally for Times Furnishing but now a Waterstone's bookstore.  There appear to be remnants of the former occupant's sign beneath the present Waterstone's sign.  Pevsner describes it as, "An eight-storey moderne tower, its height emphasized by tall strips of windows linked by lead panels.."

There is little remaining inside of the original store fittings other than the stairway.
